Severina Vuckovic (born April 21, 1972 in Split, SFRY, now Croatia), is a Croatian singer and actress. Her stage name is simply Severina.In 2004 Vuckovic was involved in an internationally reported sex scandal after a personal sex tape featuring her and Bosnian Croat businessman Milan Lucic leaked on the internet, which was reported by the Croatian online tabloid Index.hr. The highly sexual and graphic nature of the video, and the fact that Lucic was married when the tape was filmed shocked the Croatian and other former-Yugoslav nations among which she is widely popular and severely damaged her public image. Vuckovic promoted abstinence in many of her public appearances and was known as a devout Catholic. Vuckovic sued the website that released the tape for damages, claiming that the video was stolen from her and that it was her intellectual property.
